They urgently need advertising at the entry points
of mentors.debian.net and at the upload instructions.

I was desparately digging the Debian docs for something
like this.
Hm. What shall i do with my brand new sid VM now ?
I copied the development workshop from the host and
installed the needed packages for dpkg-buildpackage.
The first round of packages is built as was done
on the host machine and installed.
Next i plan to test the proposed command debuild.
So many branches to explore ...

I'm logged in by my X session and want to keep it running.
Line 2 seems newer than the explanation beneath.
So line 5 would be covered by:
"The fourth line is to update the active user group set
to include sbuild."

Aha. Enlightenment.
A fruitless google search of "active user group set"
already brought me to the suspicion that something around
newgroup(1) was meant.

2 TB free. My mass storage still produces an echo when i shout.
Well, i need to make some progress with uploading.
So i'll go on with the VM for now. I need to learn a bit more
about what sbuild does. On the long run it looks cleaner.
Which one to install ?
dput: /usr/bin/dput
dput-ng: /usr/bin/dput
My Jessie obviously has "dput" installed.
So many branches ...
Have a nice day :)
